Stimacked Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 Rowett has been given a chance by Mel. He had a huge task to achieve anything this season while simultaneously having a go at trimming the squad. He has been trying to trash the football style established by Maclaren, but which failed to deliver us promotion. He hasn't pulled off the transfers to replace the team with anything close to a watchable new style. Losing Sam Rush was probably good for the club but it left a vacuum. Rowett was expected to do the hands on transfer dealings. Both transfer windows were poor. Pulling off the Cleverly signing, initially transformed our season. Losing Johnny Russell at the last minute and then Winnall's injury were both massive blows. The team overperformed to get us into the top two. We peaked back in December. Part of it was Cleverly playing for a new contract. We were on a great run. Confidence was flowing. But it wasn't to last. The soft underbelly of the team was back. Terrible couple of months from February onwards. Rowett has now probably lost the majority of the fanbase. He's made loads of blunders. Derby's fanbase have been used to Mel pulling the trigger and it's got us nowhere. Rowett deserves another season to put his team together. We might even scrape back into the play offs this year which would be an achievement from our current position with the tough games we have left.

Grimbeard Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 In answer to the original question, it's because much of our fanbase appears to be made up of a load of impatient, whinging, whining, petulant children with an overdeveloped sense of entitlement. They want success and they want it NOW, and if they don't get what they want, they're gonna chuck their toys and scweem and scweem until they're sick.

The football is horrendous - its horrible industrial hoofball and it isn't working anymore. His transfer dealings have been crap - sold our best midfielder and best winger and replaced them with what? He only knows one way to play and its been sussed out. Why should he get another season when better managers than him were sacked by Mel for less? I don't trust him to spend our football clubs resources properly so no way should be get another season. If he does we'll be bottom half with Pride Park a third empty every game. He is an empty vessel; all flash clothes and fancy talk but essentially clueless.

People pay hundreds of pounds on tickets and travel to watch the club. They should be able to enjoy it, and be proud of the team. Currently, they're not in parts. Why are you taking the moral high ground here? Are we not allowed to voice our opinion? Or is it because I'm a petulant child that Rowett's football makes me wanna do something else instead? Really strengthens your argument when you patronise the other side and call them children. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just want my team to look like they have some plan, some tactical nous that says you can see the players gave their best but came up short. That they really want to win and put a shift in that shows a willingness to try. Id rather see the under 23’s have played today and I’d have stayed until the end and applauded them if we have been 5 or 6 down, so long as there was a plan and they appeared to be trying. Sadly neither was in evidence much today. Felt totally dispirited watching that and I’m one of the biggest happy clappers around, but this one got to me today. Probably because I was with the Burton fans and listened to them ripping us to all game, it was embarrassing today. Need a big drink to feel better and get over this, but I’ll be there next week, don’t expect us to go up, but I’ll be willing we make the play offs at least. If we don’t fair do’s but at least give it a trucking go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WestKentRam Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 The penny finally dropped with me when listening to the Paul Peschisolido interview on the excellent @Steve Bloomer's Washing podcast. Paul described the poor run of form before he was sacked as manager of Burton with GR as his assistant. GR kept telling him to go more direct but PP decided he would go down in flames trying to get the players to play football. This seems to fit with what we see at Derby now with the hopeful long balls hoofed forward to attackers well outnumbered as GR's preferred style of play.
